In re Duffin
Judge:
Judge Mosier
Date:

Case Number(s):
09-28879
Status:
PUBLISHED
Body:
Under U.C.A. § 78B-5-505(1)(a)(xiii) in the absence of a creditor's levy or execution, proceeds or avails of insurance policies are exempt. Because the Trustee's rights and powers as a hypothetical creditor under § 544 are based on hypothetical events Section 544(a)(2) is inapplicable to U.C.A. § 78B-5-505(1)(a)(xiii). In the absence of express Congressional intent the Trustee's rights and powers as a hypothetical creditor under § 544 may not be used to limit state law exemptions provided for and allowed by Congress in § 522.
